March 7, 2018 at 3:04 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
Republican donors last year paid over a half-million dollars for Trump re-election campaign offices in Trump Tower ― a decision that personally benefited the president, but provided workspace for at most a handful of staff, the HuffPost reports.
The monthly rent was more than what candidate Donald Trump had been charging from June 2015 to March 2016, back when he was largely self-funding his campaign And while it is unclear why Trumps re-election campaign has rented so much room for so few people, its decision to do so has helped fill office space that appears to have become much more difficult to rent out since Trump won the presidency.

Why do they put up with this crap? Trump is ripping them off right and left and all they got to say is "please sir may I have another". What chumps.

Republicans would be livid. The difference is black and white.
